\u00e2\u0096\u00baDo the Caucuses matter?<\/b><\/i>
Yes. Iowa is the first state to vote on January 3. Iowa helped George W. Bush and John Kerry win their party’s nomination for president in 2004. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0096\u00baDoes one vote make a difference?<\/i><\/b>
Easily, in Iowa, about 200,000 people will vote in the caucuses. <\/p>

\u00e2\u0096\u00baIf we don’t vote, who will have a say for the Latino community? <\/i><\/b>
Representative Tom Tancredo is opposed to the use of Spanish language. By not voting, you are saying he’s correct. However, if you like Tancredo, please vote for him, but no matter who you like them important thing is to just vote. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0096\u00baWhat if I’m not registered to vote in Iowa?<\/i><\/b>
You can register to vote the day of the caucus, just come a little early and make sure you’re at the right place. Check with your local county office to find out where exactly where you have to vote since their will be about 2,000 voting sites. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0096\u00baSo can I be late?<\/b><\/i>
No, the Democrat caucuses begin at 6:30 p.m. and the Republican caucuses start at 7:00 p.m. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0096\u00baWhat if my candidate loses, would mean my vote was wasted?<\/b><\/i>
Not necessarily, candidates who had little chance of winning Iowa, like Bill Clinton in 1992 received 3 percent of the vote in Iowa and still became president, still go on to win the party nomination. <\/p>

\u00e2\u0096\u00baWill Latino immigrants have more power as a result of me voting?<\/i><\/b>
Definitely, the anti-immigrant groups may be small in numbers but they vote all the time.  The Latino is the largest ethnic minority in this country, yet we have a bad voting record. It’s the main reason, we get no respect. The way to earn respect is with voting. As a result, Univision called 2007, “A bad year for immigrants”. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0096\u00baWhat about Illinois?<\/b><\/i>
Those who live in Illinois have to register to vote by Thursday, January 10 and will vote on Super Tuesday, February 5. <\/p>
